You need to click on the defender's portal on the side of the main doors to let you in the building, while your faction has control as noted above.

Comment by Icemagic

You can still reach Elder Bluewolf if the keep has been won by attackers, the keep door will be down. If the keep has successfully been defended, you have no chance unless your faction controls it.

You don't have to Control Wintergrasp the door just must be destroyed.

Comment by 406943

Also note that, if your faction does not control Wintergrasp, you can still use the Dalaran portal to make a quick escape after talking to him.

Comment by GannHalon

And it sucks when the opposing faction is 10 to 1 with you and your faction NEVER gets to the door, let alone controls it..

go go large imbalances..

i love being a rogue :-)
no problems what so ever

Comment by 381060

Just dropping in to say that you can of course now fly in to get this, and don't need to wait for the control to change hands.. just have to run for it after until OOC so you can fly out again.

Comment by 438545

He's inside the Wintergrasp Fortress at coords: 49, 14.

Your faction does need to own Wintergrasp. So dont QQ about it, join the fight and pwn so you can get your achieve!

Hope this helps!

Comment by Siupak

Confirmed, He is inside the fortress where entrance to VoA is. Elder can be accessed while opposite faction has WG. I flew in right after some horde player. He is located on left side of the room when you fly inside. On the same side is the portal to The Violet Citadel in Dalaran which saved my butt :)

Comment by 376120

how does one "fly in after a horde" when the portal is the way you get in? I may sound like a noob on this one, but being on a server where the Horde out number us 3-1 it looks like I'll never get this achieve...

Comment by lokithor

and just how does one do the with a big door in front of the fortress?

Comment by Flitzy

Since low levels cannot use the portal in Dalaran or get the flight path, I managed to get in to Wintergrasp by running along the mountain range in Western Icecrown (above the Avalanche area of Sholozar Basin and below the Fleshworks.

With some corpse running and spirit guide hopping, it turned out to be a relatively safe area. As long as you die in the Wintergrasp zone, you'll be able to talk to a spirit guide and teleport to the main fortress graveyard, thus avoiding all the big, bad monsters that want to eat your face! :x

Of course, this assumes that your faction has Wintergrasp since you can't get in if it doesn't.

Comment by Feloberto

as of 4.0.3, your faction doesn't need to be in control of Wintergrasp in order to reach this elder
Just went with my BElf pally, and Wintergrasp was under control of the Alliance, no problem at all getting in and out.

Comment by 76929

Confirmed, you can go right in and complete the quest. @ 49/14

Comment by Werlwind

Where would that be for those without coordinates?

Comment by Lorrain

Video no longer up. Please, someone post what happens in it? Which corner?

Comment by 769573

I just flew in and got it even though the alliance was in controll and i am horde. Just fly right in the door, get it and get out fast before they attack you.

Comment by macvspcWoW

here's what i did: i used the door glitch, then talked to the guy, went out tele, here nelves: go to a distance and shadowmeld, or kill the guard. then fly as high as possible, and run away

Comment by Chyvaelry

I beg to differ. I just talked to the elder inside WG fortress while it was held by opposing faction. If the doors have been compromised in the last battle you can, indeed, get into the fortress.

And then I used the portal to get to Dal :P

Just saying, it can be done.

TT

Comment by 773891

You can do it without your faction be at control. Fly by the door, carefully, to not agroo the mobs, talk to the elder, then walk till the edge to qet mounted again, then fly away. I did this way, being a horde, when the local was ally controlled. So, it's possible ;-)

The wall bug posted in Youtube still works as of 01/26/2011

Comment by 486737

I can also confirm that the glitch does indeed work. Took quite a few attempts but I eventually made it. I fell all the way to the bottom and had like 1k health left but there was nobody inside. Got the elder and headed straight to Dalaran through the portal. :)

Comment by 775090

I might just be stupid, because I can't seem to find the right spot in the wall.

Comment by 777059

Holy $h!t, this bug worked for me! ...im an 84 tauren, so size/lvl doesnt matter. The trick was to jump right when the mount appeared. It will put you a little higher up/inside the stone. Do it one or two more times while jumping/running forward, and it will push you inside.

It was Horde controlled at the time, but I dont think size, level or faction matters to get this coin.

Thanks for posting!

Comment by Declaron

This probably is gonna get downrated, but in my honest opinion, for the sake of the glitch mentioned above, would it not be better to join the queue for wintergrasp, go do something else while your waiting, join the battle, win it, get the honor and such and simply walk in and speak to the elder? Its far more rewarding and after all, its FOR THE ALLIANCE!

Comment by 773801

confirmed lvl76 bloodelf paladin while alliance controled it just took on my horse and jumped inside great!

Comment by 172622

I was able to get to Elder Bluewolf while the opposing faction controlled Wintergrasp thanks to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-DoUHNEGhI

Much thanks. Psilo approved.

Comment by Screwy1010

The bug worked. First tried a raptor mount, but it kept dismounting me. Then tried a wolf mount. Kept jumping until the graphics bugged. Just like the video.

Comment by Neltron

Just wanted to post and say the bug still works as of Feb. 9th, in patch 4.0.6.

Comment by 640792

OMG YES! Bugged worked perfectly first time! Tops for levitate though <3 lolol thanks so much guys!

Comment by Arcolite

I wish I'd read about the bug earlier. I now have to wait another year to get this guy :'(

Everytime I've been online we've never had WG. I've tried to take part and win it for myself but on my server with a massive Horde over population it's been impossble.

I was up against 6 Hordes on the last battle. 1 versus 6!

Comment by Eleora

Hmm, neither glitch works for me. The front wall I just can't get in through, the trick under the back..now when you go under, it dismounts you and you can't remount ><

Gonna try it with pygmy oil later, see if it makes a difference.

Comment by 780827

The wall glitch previously mentioned in this post is still working as of 22 January 2012, I did it on a belf whilst mounted on the deathcharger, just watch out for the fall.

Comment by 931562

WG was alliance controlled but I flew in straight away with no problems (except from the few alliance running around trying to kill me)

Got the quest though.

Comment by 833385

It may be stating the obvious to all the PvPers out there, but for those who have never fought in Wintergrasp, you can fly into the fortress, which is to the north, and at the north end of the fortress there's a courtyard with a building on the north face with a very large set of doors, and a guard either side. If your faction controls the fortress and the doors are closed, there's a teleport on the right that will get you in.

Comment by rocketsurgeon

I spent about 20 minutes trying to get the wall glitch to work, but had no luck. So I went and got a winterfall firewater, and was able to get the glitch to work in about 2 minutes.

If you are having trouble, as an a male Undead, you will probably need to buy/loot a firewater or some other size buff to glitch the wall.

Comment by 939428

you can get in the building i just did it with a blood elf prot pally and a shadow priest. watch you tube videos. its just glitchy then bam it happens just like in the video. im living proof. death to the naysayers! Peace... Psilo...

Comment by 939919

I had to use Baby Spice with my Tauren Paladin in order to get far enough in to use the wall glitch, but otherwise it worked as described.

Comment by 898422

Confirmed as of 1-23-2012 with a Tauren. using the following method: http://www.youtube.com watch?v=JN5sPYjpciQ No baby spice or other shrinking methods used.

It just takes a lot of trying and moving/jumping around.

Comment by Aquifel

Of course, there had to be at least one pain in the ass for every world event. This guy is it, noone on my side has done wintergrasp since cata started, queued a few times, never more than 3 people. It is pretty sad that the only good way to get this one for some people is via risking a ban :/.

Comment by 941195

Confirmed! The first video works, even for Tauren! For a while I thought she was too big, but I got it to work with my Argent Warhorse. Ran head-on into the corner, mounted, and bounced, bounced, bounced forward until I was in! Very excited!

Comment by 941391

Just portal in through the defender's portal outside the main gates. Takes you right to him. Your faction has to have control though I believe.

Comment by Azgaryth

I was lucky. I zoned in and it was Horde controlled. Flew right up to the Elder and voila!

But I'm glad there is the other info posted here.

Comment by 943848

The glitch described here is easier to exploit if you use Noggenfogger Elixir or any other shrinking item, tested today with a troll.

2012 Elder Bluewolf

WG Fortress Glitch

In my opinion this is the easiest way to get into the fortress when you don't control WG and the door isn't broken down. No luck necessary.

Youtube: http://youtu.be/Hf4yh53KFX8

Kind of hard to explain without seeing it, so check out the video.
Essentially, we're just going into the fortress from under the ground.

Hi, glad this helped so many people out! Just an update to say that there are some people who had issues with this because their toons were too large. I made another video of an alternate glitch to get there (still no luck required).

Works as of 2014.

Comment by Allakhazam

Right location, wrong map. The map shown is of Icecrown not Wintergrasp. Oops.

Comment by Allakhazam

Elder Bluewolf is inside the Wintergard Fortress. Cords are 49.0/14.0.
If you don't PVP he is inside the Fortress, which is at the North end of Wintergrasp. Use the portals on the sides of the buildings to get inside.

Comment by RichardSM

Currently missing from Wrath Classic, even if your faction controls the zone.

Comment by ClasscMalcontent

Wrath Classic. Elder Bluewolf is inside the main fortress but only during the instanced battle. He is not present in the non-instanced zone unfortunately. Our faction controlled WG and I waited about 5 minutes prior to the next WG battle. As soon as I was prompted to JOIN the next battle, the moment I clicked JOIN the Elder appeared inside the main keep. And I was able to complete the achievement.
